Second Palm Beach County inmate escapes this week

For the second time this week, an inmate has escaped a Palm Beach County facility.

Antwane Anglin, 27, escaped the West Palm Beach Community Release Center, north of Southern Boulevard, just before 3 a.m. Thursday. Anglin is serving a two-year, nine-month sentence for selling cocaine, according to the Department of Corrections website.

The West Palm facility is next door to the Loxahatchee Road Prison where Philip Peletz was being held until he escaped custody while out working with a crew in Loxahatchee Groves on Tuesday.

As of Wednesday evening, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not have any updates on Peletz or his whereabouts. Witnesses at the scene told authorities they saw the 53-year-old get into an white, older model white truck. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, who are assisting in the search, believe Peletz is no longer in the area, according to a tweet posted Wednesday morning.

Authorities did not release the amount of area covered during the search or give any indication about where the 53-year-old may be headed.

Anyone with information on Anglin or Peletz is asked to call local authorities or the Department of Corrections at 850-922-6867
